“But I made it for that one,” replied the young person – from the Starfish Story
Every day, we are bombarded and overwhelmed with news about the negative course our planet and the environment are taking.
We watch most of the time helpless at the, literally, rivers of plastic choking our streams, reversing into the ocean, killing all animals indiscriminately. We hear about these pollutants returning to us, into our plates and drinking water.
We watch as truckloads of garbage and abandoned goods are taken away. Remember, when we throw something away, it doesn’t go to a magic place called “away. “ It goes somewhere else on this planet.
We feel that anything we do won’t make much of an impact.
Each of us has the power to be the change and inspire it in others.
We do not have to kill ourselves by trying to do everything all the time. It is impossible to fight an uphill battle constantly, but each day, we can select actions that have a positive outcome right in the place where we are, in the moment we are living.
As I have said before, I cannot save all the sharks in the world nor pick up all the plastic on the beach where we were yesterday. Still, I will pick up as much as I can fit in the car and, through that action, spare a bird, a turtle, or a shark from becoming entangled, eating the incorrect food, or suffering because of our actions.
